Here's an update of status of my work on JTileCache:
I setup Geoserver 1.5.1 under Tomcat. Using that Geoserver deployment, I tested out Jon Blower's Jython-powered TileCache. Although it worked, it seems to be taking up a decent amount of CPU time (based on the Tomcat status panel).
To get more familiar with the popular caching projects, I installed / setup JBoss Cache, JCS cache, and memcache. I tested out each cache system by writing simple applications that used some of the cache features. This week, I will use what I have learned to build a cache abstraction layer for JTileCache.
Expectations for this week:
-- Initial port of TileCache to Java-- Work on cache abstraction layer
